Twittering

Context:

You are an undergraduate student and you start using Twitter over a summer vacation as it was used by staff at the small company you had an internship with.  When you are back at university you find that there are a number of others who are also using it.

Ali – who takes the same modules as you;
Bob – who takes one module with you;
Cat – doing the same degree course as you but in a different name;
Doug – a postgrad who helps with one of your tutorials;
Ed – a lecturer on one of your module;
Fi – your personal tutor;
Greg – your student union president;
Hiya – your student radio’s twitter id;
Mum – your mother;
VC – your university’s senior manager;
X – your ex-lover;
